Until you weigh and determine your weight is ok and proper tire pressure - use the max cold psi listed on the tire itself for safety. Imho.

Ditto what Vince says - especially in the steers. Try to get a 4-corner weight with your fuel and FW full, waste tanks empty, and as close to your normal load-out as possible.

Pressure on the sidewall of a heavy duty tire in NOT the maximum it should have. It is the minimum to support the maximum rating of the tire. This allows for increased pressure as you drive.
The above info can be found in the tire companies tire guides and magazine articles.

You do not need the sidewall listed air pressure unless you think your MH is overweight. Inflate to the Federal Tire Placard stated pressure. That air pressure is what is required to safely carry the GVWR of the MH.
